War Child album delayed
The large response from artists over a charity album has resulted in it being delayed.
Kooks to help charity The charity album for War Child has been delayed due the number of artists wanting to participate in the project, it has been reported.

Originally due out on November 22nd, the Heroes compilation has been pushed back until February next year to allow more musicians to take part, according to NME.com.

War Child, which works to improve the lives of young people affected by war and poverty, said it was "overwhelmed" by the response.

The album will see a modern-day artist cover a song a music legend has chosen from their own back catalogue, with The Kook's reworking Victoria by The Kinks already lined up, the news provider reveals.

According to the charity: "The wealth of talent who have contacted us wishing to support the charity and contribute to the album is humbling and we are delighted to have been able to change our deadlines to accommodate some of them."

Sir Paul McCartney has also signed up to the project and has previously said Duffy's version of Wing's Live and Let Die is "great".

The charity is currently working in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda to help children affected by conflict.ADNFCR-1856-ID-18815661-ADNFCR
